5/5 from 586 reviews
Photo of SureCats Entertainment LLC SureCats Entertainment LLC "Review received on 7/4/2021 Amazing band - made our wedding This band is so amazing. They are all the nicest of people and amazingly talented musicians and vocalists. They performed at our wedding, including acoustic music while we walked down the aisle and during the cocktail hour and then they rock and rolled for dinner. They gave us a huge set list that we could choose from which they played and also added to. Everyone enjoyed them so much. People were dancing all night. They really made our wedding a special event. This is not an ordinary wedding band. This is a group of great musicians that played at our wedding. We can’t thank them enough. Rick and Sue Rating:" Based in Toms River, New Jersey Rick Sanders - Wedding Photo of Motor City Revue Motor City Revue "MCR absolutely ROCKED our Wedding Event!! They brought the house down and then some, w/ rarely an inch of the dance floor empty! Couldn't recommend Layonne and the Motor City Revue crew enough for any and all Live Music needs... now we just need to plan another event!" Based in Asbury Park, New Jersey J. Batson Photo of Generation 2 Generation 2 "One of the best Bands this side of the East Coast. I will definitely hire them again." Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 7th November 2025 O.

Based in Newark, New Jersey Anonymous - Birthday Photo of Sean Kershaw & the New Jack Ramblers Sean Kershaw & the New Jack Ramblers "Sean Kershaw and The New Jack Ramblers ROCKED the House! Simply put, if you are looking for a typical, run of the mill house band for your party these guys are not that. They were outstanding, engaged the crowd and had people jumping out of their seats. It was a real pleasure to work with them, and I look forward to our next event." Based in Brooklyn, New York 17th March 2026 Allan Linder - MCKB Photo of Brothers That Sing (B.T.S.) Brothers That Sing (B.T.S.) "These gentlemen can really sing. I’ve produced many Tribute shows of singing groups for many years and this B.T.S. Tribute To The Dramatics are top notch singers. The audience told the real story with them having to sing an encore." Based in Jersey City, New Jersey Paul Kiser - The Big Show

Frequently asked questions

Hiring soul bands typically costs between $220 and $4,050+, with an average of $1,200. The price depends on the number of band members, performance duration and whether the line-up includes a horn section and backing vocalists. Larger soul ensembles with brass and multiple singers typically cost more than smaller combos.

The soul bands for hire perform classic and contemporary soul music, often blending Motown, funk, R&B and disco into their sets. Many soul bands cover well-known hits from artists spanning several decades, creating a feel-good, dance-friendly setlist.

Hiring soul bands is a popular choice for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, gala dinners and private celebrations. Soul music has broad, cross-generational appeal and is one of the most reliable genres for filling a dance floor.

The soul bands on Gig Heaven range from compact trios and quartets to larger ensembles with horn sections, backing singers and full rhythm sections. A bigger line-up delivers the powerful, rich soul sound, while smaller groups suit tighter budgets and venues.

Most soul bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments and amplification. For larger events, additional equipment may be needed. For the best experience, confirm technical details with the band before booking.

Some acts work with a fixed singer and others draw from a small pool, so it is worth asking which applies before booking. Where a specific voice matters, naming it at the enquiry stage is the only way to secure it. Acts that rotate singers will normally say so and can often send recordings of each.

A four or five-piece with a strong singer fills most function rooms, and the difference at that size is closer to weight than to energy. Larger rooms and higher guest numbers are where the extra players start to matter. Guest numbers and the room are a better guide to this than the size of the budget.

A smaller group leans on voice and rhythm, so brass-driven material is either rearranged or left out. Larger line-ups cover the catalogue much as recorded, which matters when particular songs have to be in the set. Naming those songs is the quickest way to find out which size suits.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
